The Claremont Packing House shopping mall. . . .

At the Claremont Packing House, a shopping/dining/learning/living mall in Claremont CA. This is all built in an old historic building that was a packing shed for either peaches or lemons--long before what it is today.These photos are not in very good order and I can't arrange them well, but I'm going to post them as I can, because if I wait till I figure out how to make them look better, it will never happen! You will definitely see magic in what has been done with a very awkward space. . .


Miracles CAN happen!

Outside at one end of the "Packing House"

A Community art center for all ages




                                                
                                                            Some of the shops and restaurants. . . . 



A bookstore of donated books, with proceeds going to the Prison Literacy Project                                           



One of the restaurant menus


A very old door that must be original to the building--it hangs on the 2nd floor landing




A huge project made from folded, twisted cardboard boxes etc.



There's a comedy club on the second floor too







                  
There is a great yarn shop on the second floor



And a piano studio on the second floor, too.
 

Looking down on the first floor from the second. On the 3rd level, are Loft living spaces!
